User talk:David P. Weinstein

Welcome!

Hello, David P. Weinstein, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article (or draft of an article) about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I recently submitted a draft article about myself because of my professional academic accomplishments, contributions and the recognition I have received. I received the above note saying: "As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor." But I didn't submit the draft article be because I am already a contributor. I submitted it, as I just said, because I believe that I may be a suitably "notable person" because of my scholarly achievements.

Please clarify it my submission will be considered accordingly.

Many thanks,

Your submission at Articles for creation: David P. Weinstein (November 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drew Stanley was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Article issues

- demonstrate notability through reliable sources - not every academic can have a wikipedia page

- there is a correct format for a wikipedia page - this needs fixing, and it also reflects llm use

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
